Same results in this log and no reason showing for your issue. At this point I am at a loss to tell you what to do. I don't do Windows and it might be something that you should look into. You can post a ticket at bugtracker and see what the DEVs have to say, but this usually takes a while and IIRC you need this for your studies. Maybe someone else will see what I might be missing,

Hi, I am having the same issue.
I have PAE/NX enabled, I can choose boot option with GRUB and when I choose Kali, it stays like a black window. I have two pictures about what I see, but I am new here and it is not possible to put them because of the restrictions with the new users.

Thanks for your help.

New users can attach images ( look below the reply window ). It is posting URLs that is forbidden for new users. But if the images are just a black window don't bother. Post the guests log file instead,

Code: Select all

00:00:01.802410 Guest OS type: 'Ubuntu'

 00:00:02.276353 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes

You have chosen the 32 bit version instead of the 64-bit one, probably due the the fact that you need to enable hardware virtualization in the host bios to be able to select 64-bit guests. Fix that and it should work.

Thanks for your help, that was the problem (virtualization disabled in BIOS).
